Reviews of the movie: Nice Dreams

I'm giving this 4 stars because I love Cheech & Chong. Nice Dreams, in my opinion, is the third best C&C movie. Up In Smoke('78) being the best followed by Next Movie('80.) "Nice Dreams" is enjoyable (I can't believe it's been 20 years since I saw it in the theatre as a teenager.) The "Save The Whales" song is great. I've always loved Tommy Chong's guitar riffs and I love it when they do these little songs in the middle of scenes. After an enjoyable start, the movie slows down a bit but picks up for a funny second half. The movie gives off a very *cool* feeling with it's "pot growing" scenes.

This is a typically weak C&C vehicle, with the expected doses of idiotic humour and drug use. However, this film really hits rock bottom thanks to the scenes involving Stacy Keach and Paul Reubens...they drag it down to a pathetic level that is not often seen in the movies. Unfortunately, the blame for this should go right back to Cheech and Chong, for even though their characters aren't quite as annoying as Keach or Reubens, they were the ones who wrote this mess.
